"[I know him] just from TV.. He looks good, he looks quite strong in the air, he scores lots of goals with his head and he looks quite confident on the ball.. Hopefully it [the deal] goes through.. I think it is good for all of us and that is why I am happy to see him coming here.."

"I think everybody knows that the board has always backed Arsène and believes in him totally.. Arsène, in return has a great love for the Club.. There’s no dimming in his desire and I’ve no doubt that we’ll extend his contract, but we’ll do that very quietly and with the minimum of fuss.. When it’s appropriate to make an announcement we will do so.." Adios!!
